TLDR : Answer Summary

To visit Thailand for six weeks in December, whether a visa is needed depends on your home country. Many Western countries, including the UK, allow travelers to enter Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days. Upon arrival, you will receive a stamp in your passport that grants you this 60-day period. It's advisable to check the official Thai visa regulations related to your nationality to confirm.

Depends what country you are from 1st… some countries are Visa exempt. Others, for the most can have a 2 months visa on line…

Google and official Thai websites explaining the matter clearly are a great invention. First you do your initial research and the hard work and then you come to a forum to clear up any unclear details. That's how it works

A visa it’s not issued if your native language is English, but maybe more correct to say that the majority of the official English speaking countries are entitled to visa exemption.
